Ello Ello Ello people!
I’ve been quiet for a long while on here but I wanna get back into good habits of training and posting regularly so here goes 🥊
I had a great session training with a couple days ago and got some great work in with who was more than a handful as you can see from the video!
Appreciate your help brother and hope I gave you some good rounds to 👊
Onwards and upwards we go!

Working on that all important head movement today with 💪
I’m loving being back in the gym regularly and it’s always good to have a buddy to motivate you!

Working on keeping the right hand high when throwing the jab, and increasing head movement after each punch.
Just a couple of bad habits of mine that I am slowly eradicating. Acknowledge your weakness and practise till it’s erased 🥊🥊🥊

Hello people!
Hope we’re all good, here a little bit of footage of me on the speed bag!
I would recommend anyone hit the speed bag for at least a couple of rounds at the end of a boxing session, it’s such a great tool for improving punch flow, accuracy and hand speed.
Let us know in the comments what you if my technique and if there’s anything I should try and improve on 👊👊👊

Pretty self explanatory, always train hard and throw with bad intentions.

Little sparring footage from amateur boxing training this week, loving every second of it and feel like I’m learning a little bit more every week 🥊🥊🥊

Hey guys!
Hope we’re all good out there, here’s an heavy bag drill for anyone looking to build endurance and stamina in the arms for boxing.
Hit the bag with left and right straight punches with medium power counting up to 21, then on the 22nd and 23rd punches throw a left and right hook to the body with maximum power.
Continue this for the duration of a 3 minute round, if this is too easy then on every minute reduce the number of straight punches by 6.
If you want to really feel the effects it’s best to do this drill right at the end of your workout when you’re already fatigued, much harder but I guarantee you’ll feel the effects much sooner!
Let me know how you get on 🥊🥊

Always sharpening up the jab. Practising on the heavy bag will never get boring for me 🥊🥊🥊

So happy with the progress Konrad Zaręba has been making over the past month!
He’s been in the gym with me 5-6 days a week doing light sparring, bag work, skipping and shadowboxing and I can already see massive improvements in his overall fitness and boxing knowledge.
Keep up the great work mate you’re smashing it 🥊👊🥊👊

Quick 30 second instructional vid for you guys on hooking off of the jab.
One of the best ways to throw your opponent off and switch up the rhythm of your lead hand.
Hope it helps you out, give it a try and let me know how you get on!

Back in my happy place 🥊🥊🥊

Hey guys!
Today I wanted to share a cool little technique / tactic I found out about via a Teddy Atlas interview with Jorge Masvidal, it’s called “Knock On The Front Door, Come In The Side”.
It’s a really quick and easy to change the angle and surprise your opponent.
By moving to a 45 degree you can fire straight punches behind your opponent’s guard, and open them up to more offence.
Hope this helps and let me know about any more tactics you guys think I should take a look at 👊

Boxing is the hands down the best stress reliever I’ve ever had.
There’s no better feeling than being completely knackered after a session, knowing any negative feeling inside you has been let out in a healthy way.
I challenge anyone of any skill level to hit a punch bag for three rounds and tell me they don’t feel better after than before they started.
Have a great weekend people, you know where I’ll be 👊🥊👊🥊
